Technically no, but Magical Mystery Tour was an EP and Yellow Submarine a soundtrack. I always think of them as side projects and not count them when discussing the Beatles album by album.

I think that's ok, because Yellow Submarine was not actually an album project by the band, since it was made from two old songs and four leftovers, plus the B-side that was not Beatles music. Actually "the Yellow Submarine sessions" do not exist.

Other favorite trilogies by favorite bands:
The Byrds: Mr. Tambourine Man - Turn! Turn! Turn! - Fifth Dimension
The Kinks: Something Else - The Village Green Preservation Society - Arthur
Jefferson Airplane: Surrealistic Pillow - After Bathing At Baxter's - Crown Of Creation
-
Jefferson Airplane: Surrealistic Pillow - After Bathing At Baxter's - Crown Of Creation
Was considering this one, but decided against it only because I love Surrealistic Pillow so much more than the other two.
-
With The Kinks I'd definitely go with Something Else/Village Green/Arthur; the post-60s stuff, with the bizarre exception of Percy (3 or 4 premier league Kinks'songs), was one of the first batches of CDs to go in my recent purge.
Also, never really adored The Doors debut (still better than anything in the last four decades though!) or the Roadhouse Blues stuff, so Strange Days - Waiting For The Sun - Soft Parade for me.
Also.....Pretty Things: Get The Picture / Emotions / S.F. Sorrow
And.....Byrds: 5th Dimension / Younger Than Yesterday / Notorious Byrd Brothers

Me too, and I've always had a deep love for their debut, but I decided to choose the Crown Of Creation direction because I think that album was more important and a little stronger.

You have the Pixies, Stooges, and Velvet Underground listed and you have the nerve to cap on Foreigner?

My comment wasn't serious - I haven't actually heard anything by Foreigner other than that I Wanna Know What Love Is crap. You sound p*ssed, sorry if I offended you in any way. But yeah, I'd fight for VU, Stooges and Pixies to death. Incredible bands, all three.
-
A couple of antipodean entries:
Split Enz: True Colours, Waiata(Corroboree in Oz), Time and Tide.
Crowded House: Crowded House, Temple of Low Men, Woodface.

No Ovi. I wasnt p*ssed, but I reread my post and I came across as an a**hole. Sorry. I was being sarcastic, but it didnt come across as I intended. Peace my friend. Its all good.

No problems. Throw me a link with a Foreigner song you like.

Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection, Madman Across The Water, Honky Chateau
Yes! :)

Sure. I know not everybody likes them, but I think their rfirst three albums rock hard. Goes down hill quick after that though. Here's one from each of their first three.
Foreigner - Starrider (+ lyrics) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcVM5LHl9WM#)
Lonely Children - Foreigner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ten4L5SQFY#)
Rev On The Red Line - Foreigner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILQvGAj3VRY#)

Foreigner's first album was a great debut record!
I remember buying it in 1977 when I was 15!
-
Hey Ovi, throw me up one of your favorite Pixie tunes or two. I've never really gotten into them before.

If you haven't liked what you heard on the radio (and they did get plenty of airplay in the late 80's on American fm's, no?), I doubt some more obscure gems will convince you otherwise. They're a bit like Nirvana in that respect - you either like their shtick or you don't.
But anyway, here's one song from each of their first 3 ablums:
Pixies - Where is my Mind (Fight Club Soundtrack) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCD14IrOcIs#)
Pixies-Debaser (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P3lhrwio-M#)
The Pixies - All Over The World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5qgLBrvcXo#)

Tk, I appreciate you taking the time to share the songs, though I don't really like any of them. Too generic and bombastic in a 70's hard rock kind of way for my taste.
-

I can tell you didn't grow up in the 80s. Foreigner is pure nostalgia for me! :)

No problems. Thats why we are lucky there's more than one band to listen to. I'm not keen on the Pixies I don't think. Too raw maybe for my taste. No biggie.
I seriously don't remember hearing them on the radio, but I probably did.

Me too...they remind me of being in college.

You don't have to do anything for me. It's just that the thread title says 'Greatest trilogies: consecutive studio albums'...
-

I know
but I want you to be happy.

I'm quite happy at the moment thank you, but it has nothing to do with you modifying your list. Post whatever you want, for all I care. It's just that if we'd all post random things that don't have anything to do with the thread's subject, this whole forum thing wouldn't make much sense, would it?
-

Ovi
Do you have to practise posting unfriendly things or does it come naturally ? ha2ha
Let me expand a bit, if I wanted to point out somebodies mistake in a list, I would say something like - 'Hi --------, great list but I think you may have made a mistake with (blah blah blah)....'
I would probably follow this by making some comments on his/her selections and giving my opinion, I think your short, sharp & unfriendly reply pointing out my error wasn't well thought out.
But hell, maybe Im being too sensitive roll:)
btw I did the list from memory of buying all these albums in the 70's and my brain cells are fading fast :(
-
Sure. I know not everybody likes them, but I think their rfirst three albums rock hard. Goes down hill quick after that though. Here's one from each of their first three.
I used to play Foreigner a lot Todd, seen them twice, great band but another one that went downhill after the 70's. I was attracted to them as I always was a fan of Mick Jones (from Spooky Tooth) and Ian Macdonald (from King Crimson) both fantastic musicians.
The 3 70's albums really did rock hard and were fantastic but sadly (for me) Agent Provocateur and its big boring hit wasn't my kind of stuff. Theyre all rich though having sold 80 million albums so what do I know roll:)
I just remembered with the AP album, is when my wife 'started' to like them ha2ha
Starrider is a fantastic song imo.
-
First of all, I have no memory of ever saying something rude to you before, so I have no idea what you mean by the first line.
Second - yes, my first reply could've been more friendlier, I admit that. I was just a bit confused, in the same way you would be if someone said that their favourite consecutive Beatles albums are Please Please Me, Rubber Soul and Let It Be. You as well could've admitted to being wrong and write something like "My bad." instead of the provocative "I omitted the 3 just for you" (frankly, I still don't really know what you meant by that).
But anyway, this whole thing's silly, so I apologize and I hope we can leave it at that.
